  1. NJ School Superintendent caught pooping on a neighboring high school's track
  2. Yeah, I thought that was just going to work. My boss is female, 75% of my co-workers are female so maybe I have a different perspective on what work is supposed to be like but if you act like that where I go to work it won't go well for you and it has nothing to do with left, right, or anything else.
  3. I think it's important to note here that he was also untruthful when confronted about allegations and was later found to have been lying. That presumes that there was some sort of evidence to confirm he had in fact lied to the Pegulas in a previous interaction which sets up an entirely new series of fireable offenses. I'm also going to presume that in that previous meeting Russell was warned that any conduct of that nature would not be tolerated. He chose to lie and chose to continue doing what he had been doing. This isn't about the persecution of the American male in the work place, it's about an unethical person who got caught lying to his boss.
  4. They aren't killing them off. They will continue to sell them in Europe and other places just like they always have. If the market changes it's not that big a deal to start bringing them back in.
  5. Flutie had 7 game winning drives in 3 years as a Bill. 3 were in 2000 after he wasn't the starter anymore Taylor had 5 in 3 years as a Bill. Taylor had 13 more career starts so the percentage is in Flutie's favor for sure, but the narrative that Taylor never got it done is false.
  6. A. Having a son with autism has nothing to do with whether or not Flutie was a good QB or not unless unbeknownst to me he strapped his son to his shoulders in some sort of Master Blaster configuration in the 4th quarter of games. B. Johnson stunk too so that's a non-starter of a conversation. Johnson or Flutie? Neither. C. You never actually addressed my initial question which was that if Flutie was that amazing of a QB and the Bills defense was one of the best in the league (which is undoubtedly was) why did the team have to come from behind in the 4th quarter so much? I'll connect those dots for you since it seems to be difficult for you. What I'm getting at is that the offense wasn't very good as Flutie's tenure at QB continued. They didn't score very much, he turned the ball over a lot, and they struggled to move the ball for long periods of time. Going back to my original point, if you loved Doug Flutie you better not have been chasing Tyrod Taylor out the door. Stats per pro-football-reference.com Doug Flutie 1999 - 15 starts 55.2% completion percentage, 19TDs, 16INTs, 3171 yards passing, 476yards rushing, 1 rushing TD, 6 fumbles, 2 game winning drives Tyrod Taylor 2018 - 14 starts 62.6% completion percentage, 14TDs, 4INTs, 2799 yards passing, 427 yards rushing, 4 rushing TDs, 4 fumbles, 2 game winning drives Flutie gets a pass around here that Taylor never got and there's a strong argument to be made that Flutie had a much better team at his disposal. Flutie the myth is a much better football player than the actual Doug Flutie ever was and I think we are far enough removed from the situation that we can all set the rose colored glasses and boxes of cereal down to have a real conversation about that.
  7. Quick question, the Bills defense was among the best in football when Flutie was QBing the Bills. Why were they behind so much?
  8. Anyone who worships at the church of Flutie better have loved them some Tyrod Taylor.
  9. I agree with many already stated, let's throw some new ones into the mix Brock Samson Jim Brockmire Dr. Rick Sanchez
  10. I'm having a little trouble understanding why people don't like Mayfield. Worked himself from a walk-on (TWICE) to the Heisman Trophy winner. Nobody will ever question his compete level. He was a 3 star recruit. Nobody ever handed him anything. He started as a true freshman walk-on at Texas Tech when the starter got hurt and went 5-0 before he got hurt himself. They didn't give him the job back when he was healthy and they also signed another QB to a scholarship which in reality would have put him minimally 3rd on the depth chart as a non-scholarship player. If it was my kid, and he played that well and they did that I advise him to leave too. Especially if another program was willing to give him a real chance. He bet on himself. Again. I like it. I'm not sure I get the uproar over planting the flag at the Shoe. That feels like a faux controversy for me. Ditto grabbing himself and shouting F you at a Kansas team that refused to shake his hand in the pregame and cheap shotted him during the game? Does he need to reign it in a little? Yeah probably. Do I particularly want a shrinking violet at QB? No. Is it particularly fair to Mayfield that the camera was focused on him and we got no perspective of what the Kansas players were doing and saying? A little. I don't know, I'm not beating the drum to get him, I'm worried about his height but the other stuff for me just seems minor and not really an issue. Even the arrest. I saw the video. We have no trouble honoring players who have done far far far more egregious things than that. I'm willing to wager that most of the people on this board have done more egregious things than that, we just managed to avoid an arrest out of dumb luck or a cops generosity.
  11. Hopefully part of the conversation included not hanging out with Johnny Manziel anymore. Ever. Don't know if he was there or not, I know they are friends, I know Manziel was in San Diego shortly thereafter, and Johnny felt the need to open his mouth to vouch for Zay (as though that helped, at all). When balls that hit you in the hands are essentially uncatchable then yeah your uncatchable pass percentage will be pretty near 100%. How many passes in a season can forcibly wedge themselves into your facemask or crotch?
  12. There are a bunch of quality DBs still out there. Wow.
  13. I remember them thinking Elvis Grbac was an upgrade from Dilfer, and paying him handsomely to boot. 5 years 30 million. A nice deal at the time.
  14. Not only do I think they don't trade up, I wouldn't be shocked if they trade down from 21 and collect more picks.
  15. We are likely drafting a back this year at some point. He's never really stayed healthy anywhere and he's never really produced anything anywhere. You don't pay a player like this the vet minimum, you find a rookie to do what he did and save the cap space.
  16. If I'm truly going all in on anyone it's Jimmy G. 2 1st round picks be damned. Suit him up and enjoy the trip to Foxboro for the next decade.
  17. I'd never met my wife. I was still an undergraduate. I had no kids. I still technically lived with my parents. My grandfather was still alive. I drove a maroon 1989 Pontiac Grand Am. My sister was still in high school. NONE of the students I've taught in the last 5 years had been born yet. Jack Eichel was 3 years old. You could still send a telegram. Nobody knew what a hanging chad was. Nobody knew who Osama bin Laden was. Renting videos was still a thing. HDTV was brand new.
  18. Let me rephrase, this has never happened anywhere on Earth in the history of man. Realize the game is rigged to keep the top at the top. It resets every now and again when someone sets the game board on fire but it eventually resorts itself with a different group at the top for awhile. Nobody gives a **** what "the people" say until the people start showing up with guillotines.
  19. This doesn't happen anywhere on Earth. Why should football be different?
  20. There are referees in WWE matches too.
